jokingly refer to the icy relations between washington and moscow these days as a new cold war but no words that made a narrative more evident in the world today than in south korea the home of the winter olympics where for the first time since the one nine hundred eighty s. existential stand up one of the world's two great super powers will be noticeably absent yes even though the international olympic committee recently decided to allow individual russian athletes to participate and responds to a scandal over the use of performance hansing drugs they will not be allowed to do so under their nation's flag and officially representing the russian federation but is that a fair decision considering the long history of doping in sports worldwide president of the international society of olympic a story and david wallechinsky join sean stone to discuss the underlying issues of
1:05 pm
this debate they probably go back to the very first olympic games in some form or another but at what point do we say p.d.'s are reality they're part of life let's incorporate it into the regiment and monitor it rather than pretending that winners aren't cheating there's two arguments again this is an interesting argument to legalize all drugs performance enhancing drugs p.d.s. but there's two arguments against it the most powerful argument is if you do that then. adolescents will start using these drugs if you as a teenager you know he can be a football player a shop of whatever. cross-country runner you're going to start taking these drugs. you're going to ruin your body for life. because your body is still forming and so it sets a very bad precedent the second problem with legalizing all performance in n.c. and drugs is that. it's an economic inequality.
1:06 pm
we already have what some of us call technological doping you know it's completely legal to have better equipment than in a poor or rich country as opposed to a poor country but overwhelmingly you know the richer countries are having a better better opportunities to to improve is individuals legally if you start legalizing performance enhancing drugs you just make that problem worse because some athletes and their countries will be able to afford these drugs no matter how expensive they are in a poor country you won't be able to take them so putting recently announced that russia will hold its own winter olympics in opposition to the ones being held in korea what does it actually mean. well first of all it may not be so necessary now that so many of the russian athletes are allowed to compete having said that when the soviet union boycotted the one nine hundred eighty four los angeles olympics.
1:07 pm
the soviet union organized an alternative olympics called the friendship games and in certain sports you could compare the times of course there was no drug testing apparently on either side but but they already did this once before thirty four years ago and so the idea was to you know say while the olympics is going on we're going to use the venues that were used for the sochi olympics and you know we're going to show our athletes are great you don't have to watch those athletes at the real facts. but if not it's possible that russia could do very well with the contract games and one of the you know subtle stories as nothing to do with doping at all is men's ice hockey men's ice hockey for the last five olympics the national hockey league has allowed its players to compete in tournaments have been fantastic
1:08 pm
because these players who are always playing for money. are suddenly playing for the country and it's been a great experience this year the national hockey league owners said we're not allowing our players to play period don you can't go you kicked out of the league if you go. so this is very unfortunate so this will be the first winter olympics in twenty four years in which there have been no n.h.l. players but that had nothing to do with the cage show which is the russian league. so those russian ice hockey players men's ice hockey players who don't play in the n.h.l. but are professionals will be at the twenty eighteen winter olympics the united states for example or canada just sending you know some old guys and a few college players so this is a great opportunity spec to opportunity for the russian ice hockey team. are good
1:09 pm
friends of wall street have been on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs this week starting on monday when the dow saw a lovely sixteen hundred point freefall marking the biggest point decline in history eventually closing the day down at one thousand one hundred seventy five points however before anyone starts whispering the word crash andreas garcia c.e.o. of the wealth management firm financial declared the c.n.n. money dot com that the stock market is throwing a tantrum take a deep breath i know it's been a while since we had a day like today but nothing has really changed from a fundamental standpoint. because nothing is more comforting than hearing financial experts casually infer that the stock market has the maturity of the five year old behind me in line at target meanwhile in a shocking show of force by the u.s. government there's a shocking wells fargo saw the hammer fall last friday when janet yellen the federal reserve actually held the big bank responsible for their bad actions in the
1:10 pm
multibillion dollar checking account fraud and scandal in a statement the fed declared until the perm mix to push an improvement it will be restricted from growing any larger than its total assets size as of the end of two thousand and seventeen and according to n.p.r. wells fargo sits at about one point nine trillion in assets boy suffering so are we really actually seeing the us government stand up to the big banks and is wall street going to finally fall victim to its own hubris to find the answers let us not look to a businessman in the suit but to a comedian with a mind who has spent a good part of his life calling out the streets and sam of the host of redacted tonight's lead can win time in this case you've got to turn the comedians are on top of it and that's how it's got to be that's how it got to be you know lead with the with the recent kind of you know freezing of growth and growth in the in the room and the demand to remove board members from wells fargo we actually seeing the u.s. government you know truly step up and stand up against the big banks or is this all
1:11 pm
just. smoke and mirrors that. i'm running around in a comedy show. actually. stand up maybe it makes no when they stand up it's an outlier and you know yes yesterday was the largest one day drop in the stock market history and people are running around hair on fire oh my god but don't remember that ninety two percent of stock wealth is held by the top twenty percent it is largely the rich further enriching themselves while they exploit all the rest of us and that's why the quote you read about how you have no worry everything still running fine you know what running fine is is it. the exploitation of the american working class it is you know and here's the news that was imposed i brought a real newspaper to see one of these are some of these and while yeah i went to the wayback machine they say many analysts pointed to a seemingly unusual cause for the turbulence yesterday rising wages rising wages this stock market plummets when corporations are worried that the workers will have
1:12 pm
security will have good wages ellen screen is on tape from like a decade ago saying worker insecurity is good for the market already this dogs are surging because workers have been pressed down to such a level that the corporations can do whatever they want before we started this segment you and i would mentioning spock's khan right the corporation that is known for the suicide nets where you know apple gets their their phones made in china well now they're coming to wisconsin right the reason is not and everyone celebrating oh it was a big company come to that was a working job well the reason they're able to now come to america is because workers in america have been pressed down so far we're now celebrating that basically a slave labor plant is coming to our shores yeah i totally agree if you leave because of all you've seen over the years you've seen the destruction of unions you've seen the destruction of workers' rights going to you know it's like oh minimum wage i will bump it up with dollar to ten yeah you know. and if minimum
1:13 pm
wage had kept up with when it was at its highest in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight if they had kept up with productivity and the buying influence it would now be twenty one dollars an hour but the productivity gains have all gone to the top and of course then you get deeper into what is the system in productivity gross domestic product you're talking about growth on a planet with private finite resources this is a cancer of the stock market is celebrating cancer that will ultimately you know come crashing down here's the question we as i've known you've spoken out about this for a long time you tried to educate people on this but one of the hurdles that you generally faced. when you're trying to convince people how you look at this a new way than what you kind of been raised in condition to look at i mean i think part of the hurdles is getting people understand the deeper system that g.d.p. is it's a life blind and it's decoupled from health from society is the g.d.p. the stock market is pure profit it is nothing but it doesn't matter how many people
1:14 pm
die it doesn't matter how many people starve it doesn't matter how companies people get water none of that matters it is one thing and one thing all the profit it would be like a driver only measuring his driving skills by how fast he's going he running people over these parents are interjected crash into people and just speed is only looking at and he gets to town and half the people in town have lost family members to his driving and he goes we should all celebrate looking back that i got here that was celebrating these stocks are just is like that but here's the other thing is just about people understand these people are angry they get the anger they understand they're not doing well out there they look at the stock market they go i don't impact me my life sucks but the problem is their anger is being channeled to the wrong places a lot of the time is being channeled into support of trump or support of white nationalism or hatred of immigrants or hatred of women or whatever it's being channeled in the wrong direction but the anger is genuinely there generally there and let me ask you this now after following this and i agree the anger is there people are going i have a feeling a benchley the you know it's going to break at some point. you know are we going to
1:15 pm
see when that break comes are we going to see another crash is this going to take another recession is that what's on the tealeaves you know looking forward well i think it's going to want to alternately have it as an ecological crash at the least i mean i don't think i can predict the stock markets right now we're able to inflate them and pop them up by pretending things are fine when they're not but ultimately the the environment can't support this you know not just global warming but you got more plastic apparently by weight in those in the ocean then fish you have. we're not going down. tens of thousands of acres of rain forest per minute or what it's it's usually it cannot sustain you know so how could we possibly can stay it couldn't continue the same growth you know again it's a cancer on a planet with find i read what i got to say thank you so much lead for coming on and illustrating that to us and keep up the great work of imam and are doing good work as always thank you. and finally today when we look up to the heavens to find
1:16 pm
inspiration we must also keep an eye out for u.f.o. which is exactly what many good folks in south america thought they were witnessing when they spotted three mysterious spire ball shooting across their blue skies almost immediately pictures and videos sprang up across the internet and social media thousands of people stretching from brazil to peru witness this bizarre sight thankfully however we can rule out alien invasion or armageddon meteors you can go home bruce willis as the three fireballs were eventually discovered to be a very manmade rocket re entering earth's atmosphere on with three fuel tanks so remember everyone when you when you looked at the sky to dream. don't forget to bring your camera and maybe a helmet to with all the falling debris and what not. that leaves and gentlemen is our show for you today and remember in this world we are told that love develops like telling the wall i love you i will. keep watching those hawks and have
1:17 pm
a great day everybody. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me to people this is the simple song alone even find company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that. mr guy she got on the back of my because. i've been this is a map of us to quote them out. of what you know and of the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human rights of access to water it's
1:18 pm
about water but it's also over much more than water it's about the heart and the redistribution of. their debt downwards the one or. two americas too intensely charged in opposing news narratives to cable news networks reflect these divisions or rather function as triggers intensifying cultural divide also what has happened to journalism is it now a profession inhabited by hacks and the politically possessed despite its turbulent history the soviet union has dominated international sport however little it was not about the lives of those champions from the. sort of you know. when the children. you're both new mom will be elephants and when both couldn't be just any number of
1:19 pm
years here and you're there this guy's a lease for the witness your bill collectors are still exists and has happened or your you were the the first soviet a limpid team of nine hundred fifty two manipulated seeds of life as concentration camp prisoners and frontline soldiers put it still think maybe even this is good through the history of chinese i see and watch a little mischief with the congressman because immersed in the seconds of a month old and still shall go with it are the cars the facility is the body area under the door that's about our inventions your precious little parcel personal parcel of enthusiasm will go from you don't want to as i'm still more sympathy thing your world still is there's your picks up the i mean the will feel nice it doesn't worry the no.
1:20 pm
with just two days to the start of the winter olympics hopes diminish but dozens of russian athletes fighting to overturn that ban. they are made unlocked germany's two largest parties anglo merkel's conservatives on the social democrats finally reached an agreement to form a coalition government. a new party is being launched in the u.k. with the aim of reversing brics it's the support it's getting from across the channel is leading to accusations of french meddling in britain's internal affairs it's. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me in the area. where there are only two days to go until the
1:21 pm
twenty eighteen winter olympics in south korea and it's still unclear who will compete the court of arbitration for sport has heard the case of dozens of russian athletes but no decision was reached on wednesday with the session adjourned for a day the athletes are challenging the international olympic committee's decision to ban them from competing in the wake of the doping scandal. reports. the olympic dreams of almost fifty russian athletes right now depend on the court of arbitration for sports and for the young chang games this is their new home. the court convened for a few hours on wednesday but there was no decision we resume the hearing tomorrow. possibly find the decision can be rendered at the end of the day tomorrow but a decision after the opening ceremony the goal is really to finish before printing and well even. for me the last moments for the in the spring should be arriving.
1:22 pm
but mostly. it is a huge court case as many as forty seven russian athletes and coaches where the queen doping test history against the international olympic committee but in a sense it's a battle between the court of arbitration for sport forecasts and the i.o.c. here's why a group of russian winter athletes were and initially a few months ago banned for life by the i.o.c. their medals were taken away but then all of this was overturned by cas last week regardless of that the olympic officials decided to flash a red card plus there were more russian winter athletes who didn't get lifetime bans but despite the fact that they had never been caught cheating before as well they still heard that they can't come to change so it's the
1:23 pm
careers and the olympic dreams of these athletes that a swiss law firm is trying to save and the hearings are happening right behind these doors swiss lawyers are saying that the grounds for the lawsuits are the nontransparent nature of the criteria plus the on lawful nature of the verdict itself and most importantly discrimination on basis of. citizenship and remember that some of the people whose fate is being protected here are reigning olympic champions. movement does not consider me an athlete who deserves to be a part of it without even providing an explanation i've never given a reason to doubt my honesty and my integrity.
1:24 pm
the games in korea were to be the first in my career together with my partner we've been working towards these in the mix for many years it was my cherished dream. i was shocked to lympics my dream and i was working towards this goal throughout my entire sports career i've given no reasons to doubt that i'm. so to put it very mildly cass in the i.o.c. don't see eye to why the court clears a group of russian athletes but the olympic officials can't be bothered this situation put the two organizations almost on a brink of conflict the secretary general of cass says that there is no crisis but see for yourself who these costs are the decision is she streamlet disappointing these decision shows the the urchin to meet for
1:25 pm
reforms in the internal structure of castes i must support my and my panel of other traitors and so far i think the procedure was fully respected their reaction was very strong understand this is the disappointment of the i.o.c. because they expected another verdict but we should not. it's better to wait before criticizing the decisions themselves because they're not being drafted yet. so again there's very little time for cast to make up its mind the opening ceremonies coming up on friday february ninth but whatever the decision is the russian sport cas and the i.o.c. will never be the same again we spoke to a russian skater who didn't receive an invitation to the games despite being cleared by cas a week ago. it is sad for me to see other russian athletes posting videos and photos from korea clearly the first explanation which comes to
1:26 pm
mind is that they want to get rid of the strongest competitors maybe they were upset because we were ranked first at the saatchi winter olympics they give no explanation do not share their reasons that's why the fear of losing seems the only plausible motive behind the decision i saw those looks from my foreign colleagues i heard them sneaking around some foreign athletes even took pictures of me it wasn't a pleasant feeling when other athletes refused to enter an elevator with me i felt helpless because there was no way for me to prove them wrong we spoke to cause manco a lawyer representing some of the athletes currently a paling the i.o.c. ban relief necessary to take all legal steps every available to us to ensure participation. in the uk. we hope that the independent panel that was composed will truly and. at the facts and
1:27 pm
of the law in front of them and. to the right decision. the i.o.c. has almost plenary power to even ignore what the court of arbitration for sports has decided and i think nations would probably say we don't want the i.o.c. making arbitrary decisions that what may one day affect our athletes international sports community and member nations really need to get together and create a body that can enforce rules fairly and across the board equally because we do not have that right now. earlier the i.o.c. issued strict rules regarding russian athletes uniforms as russian competitors are only allowed to compete and a neutral flag uniforms should bear the was a limb picked athlete from russia for its acronym. it should also be of a single or dual color and we do know it will be grey no russian flag or any of its colors white blue and red on that one but i didn't start one russian design company
1:28 pm
from showing its support for the russian athletes mind launching a line of special taisha putting on the acronym we spoke to one of its design a. it's stupid to deprive people of their own country and identity because whatever uniform athletes wearing we all know that their own russian athletes that's why we came up with the project using the strange name for a little bit teen olympic athletes from russia. we want to show you that for us and for athletes truth and sport it would drive us and all these bonds and sanctions is just political games we've really seen huge number of these prints for noncommercial use they're intended to the founders we hope it will encourage their athletes they'll see that we support them and we need their records in victory. meanwhile north korean delegates arrived in pyongyang on tuesday among them over two hundred chile this the women crossed the demilitarized zone dressed in red and black wearing the p.r. k.
1:29 pm
flags as they did some chatted with journalists the delegation is almost three hundred strong making it reportedly one of the largest border crossings between the two countries leader kim jong un system is also expected to attend the games the north and south have agreed to much together under one flag at the opening ceremony seen as a sign of spring relations but while the north is on a charm offensive u.s. vice president mike pence is also going to the games and has a very different message i am announcing today that the united states of america will soon unveil the toughest and most aggressive round of economic sanctions on north korea ever we will continue to intensify our maximum pressure campaign until north korea takes concrete steps toward complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization. and new anti brags that party is about to be launched in the u.k. and is finding its first support across the channel french m.p.'s belonging to
1:30 pm
emanuel mcallen's on marsh movement not only back to the idea but have reportedly been giving advice to the policies found this all that depends he has. this is really a brand new political party that's about to launch in the k. its goals are quite ambitious pledging to transform british politics and reverse brigs it it wants a second referendum on it i think there's no chance of brakes it being reversed the british people have spoken and that's an end of the matter they can bash their head against a brick wall although get is a sore head for the party is launching in the u.k. it's getting advice from of course we can all hear it from the helping hand coming from a manual michael's party.
