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. the games in korea were to be the first in my career together with my partner we've been working towards these olympics 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 clean. so to put it very mildly cason 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 accounts are the decision is extremely disappointing these decision shows the the urchin to meet for reforms in the internal structure of because i'm a supporter. of it traitors and so i think the procedure. it was fully respected the

reaction was very strong in the stand is that the disappointment of the i.o.c. because they expected another verdict but we should not. better to wait before criticizing the decisions themselves because they're not being drafted yet so again there is 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 were russian speed skater olga for the color there didn't receive an invitation to the games despite being cleared by the court of arbitration for sport a week ago she thinks the i.o.c. is penalizing russia after their success at their home games in sochi. the new grocer's method it is sad for me to see other russian athletes posting videos and photos from korea clearly the first explanation which comes to mind is that they want to get rid of the strongest competitors maybe they were upset because we were

ranked first at the start she with her olympics they give no explanation do not share their reasons that's why the fear of losing seems the only plausible motive of the highest decision i saw those looks from my foreign colleagues i heard them sneaking around some foreign athletes even to pictures of me it wasn't a pleasant feeling when other athletes refused to enter in the elevator with me in our myself helpless because there was no way for me to prove them wrong. a lawyer representing some of the athletes appealing against the i.o.c. ban says all legal channels are being explored relief necessary to take all legal steps available to us to ensure our participation. in the uk. we hope that the independent panel that was composed were truly sorry at the facts and 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 closing for russian athletes and they are only allowed to compete under a neutral flag they uniform should bear the was a limb pick athlete from russia or the abbreviation a and any color combination should not represent russia's trickle of red white and blue while russian flags are not aligned. on the russian design company showing its support for the athletes along with a touch of humor they've launched a line of t. shirts carrying

a pun on the acronym. design and dimitri pettish called things the band is political and wanted to back his country's arsenal. with mcwilliams will said is stupid to deprive people of their own country and identity because whatever uniform athletes wearing we all know that their own russian affluence is and that's why we came up with the project using the strange name for a little bit team for the olympic athletes from russia. would 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 gains because we've really seen huge numbers of these prints you know noncommercial use they're intended to found we have it will encourage around fleet's they'll see that we support them and we need their records and make sure graciously afford a video of the libyan children playing out a mock execution has gone viral wrong that's after the break.

all to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that weighting spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from that steroids or three. thousand zero zero zero zero hitter here i called russia.

dr. no no i was left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. luck i'm back a disturbing video has surfaced online showing young children in libya staging a mock execution. the you. can't. the the. the boys in that case are reportedly under the age of nine they appear to be mimicking a real life mass execution which happened in benghazi in january in that video which we are unable to show you a gunman is seen shooting blindfolded prisoners in front of the mosque where a deadly bombing had just taken place. where our panel of guests had contrasting

views on the story and the trauma experienced by children growing up in a war zone what we see now is just a mocking video actually seen actual videos where children has been used to behead . to behead people in syria and in iraq and iraq as well we heard stories when terrorists groups using the young people to be a spy on their families the individuals that are actually carrying out terrorist attacks and in particular suicide attacks often have been escaping chaotic lives that actually that the there is a gauge went with what we call it stream of material it doesn't happen until many years down the line you know and they often substance misuse was a big problem and if we understand that the reasons that people engage in substance misuse is because of childhood trauma and if we understand that if we've got a large number of young guys of children who have experience that kind of trauma

what could be is it possible that maybe partially they will follow the oversight of a lot or not the whole truth that's not the mood of well i'm talking about the battle of this year planetary satire and it could be this could be extremism but but but the idea the idea behind this those kids are coping with a scene like. like what they do when they watch you know. a war time movie or want to play a game of you know and then somebody was going on fighting game because this kind of stuff if they're mirroring in their executing their friends mock executions what they'd been what she was it online or really with they watching it first hand and if they watched it first hand guaranteed they're going to have struck the going to struggle with mental health they could have a great number of issues and i think you know i go into it very very so we. are also going i really do. believe that all cause is not that you know first of

all if you look into the history of islamist terrorism recently in a country where i was marred by like this you will see most of the terrorist attacks in the capital of dark i was carried out by youths who in fact came from affluent families they had a very good life in fact they were brainwashed by this islamist terrorism not only by videos but by theological understanding of it and when it comes to children children are not being able to be children because of the upbringing they are getting because they are of the islamic extremist ideology it in fact denies you of any kind of creation that children can will need to grow up with all that happiness in all the everything highball culture is not like ours some of the occasion in some countries they educate the younger kids on radicalization only extremism right from the young age so we that's what we call for because from regulations to prevent such a behavior even on online videos or watching you know we have to regulate the

education curriculum some of the countries require to be looked into and see how the education curriculum is being taught in school. and you auntie briggs it party is about to be launched in the u.k. and it's finding its first support from across the channel french m.p.'s belonging to emmanuel marc klass on marsh party not only bank the idea but have reportedly been giving advice to the party's founders r.t. shallot do bensky has more. 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 while the party is launching in the u.k. it's getting advice from a court cannot hear it from the helping hand coming from a manual much calls party the public on the march with advisers said to have been at a recent meeting consulting about tactics and it's norm which one you're a good friends was glad you came here like the west and like many other countries looking for hope because it was feeling despair i think and today truth increasing you can look at the future musical and i think the movement the christian authors i meet with when you use the future you can embrace. during the ideas of mcewan's which invited in every day people regardless of their experience in politics were new also calls on everyone to join and those behind it hope it'll work for them to

. we don't have much time the only way of winning is by the same miracle as michael the u.k. electoral commission says there is no issue with the british party receiving advice from a foreign political party providing it receives no funding from it so it's fair enough but what the reaction be if the advice was coming from a russian party will there be a great outcry as there would be if politicians from any political or from any other country were trying to advise politicians or tell them what to do but i mean what we should all be doing of course is talking to politicians from other countries not to get advice from them not to be told what to do but simply to find out what's going on in those countries we are streaming in for an interview to discuss the party but they said they were too busy however they made their feelings about our year saying that r.t. would look to undermine it also accused the channel of being

a propaganda tool and suggested that russia had interfered in the briggs's vote dividing the u.k. for europe despite a lack of concrete evidence. when you clearly doesn't have a problem when it comes to seeking the advice of a foreign power such as france when it comes to reversing brigs it a referendum in which the majority of voters or pleased to leave you so it seems that for a new meddling is ok it just depends on the country involved challenged even ski r.t. paris. a man interrupting a woman to explain feminism may not be the wisest idea but that's what canada's prime minister has done just in trudeau told a woman to correct her supposed gender biased language and is now being called sexist himself. i am

a feminist being a founder of the feminist. yes it is repeating. something just. maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind so we like you to live what we like to say people kind not necessarily mankind. there's lots of things you can do to be a better feminist as a man but he gives a simple one don't interact with.

people calling for. more news at the top of the. i'm completely confused about why a republican administration made a change that was essentially. part of the democratic philosophy i can only think that deep within what they call the deep state in the us treasury they were left leaning grads who implemented this change to a territoriality based system of taxation without anybody actually being aware of what was going on.

i'm here that money field stadium and the home on the hop. i'm here. in legend. a man who fought many great battles on this behind me now he's engaged in the greatest bottle of all his struggle against. a fight for many clubs over the years so i know that. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience. i want to share.

with. i. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm partial to and coming off the u.s. trade deficit has widened we'll talk about what it means for the trope of the fracas companies and workers and trinity charges has details on some troubling trends with air b.n. b. and congressional leaders may surprise us all and pass a bigger deal a two year deal on the budget which would include infrastructure dollars and increasing the debt ceiling all which could calm jittery markets and i sat down

with the crypto champion a reef a common and ask her if the banks ever write about digital currencies and their future. banks have a kneejerk reaction to corruption saudi jamie dimon. it's quite an interview now let's get to the stories topping today's headline. says they has finally put a price on their new e.s.p.n. streaming service according to disney's q four report four dollars and ninety nine cents will get viewers while allow them to able to watch extra games if you're a maple leafs fan or a blackhawks fan and other content investors have been waiting for the details since disney's announced plans for e.s.p.n. plus in august another detail e.s.p.n. plus will not be a standalone service instead it will be an add on to the existing e.s.p.n. app the stream per month service will not allow you or users to watch sports center or live e.s.p.n. channels without

a separate subscription to that content. piece fourth quarter profit rose two point one billion dollars as opposed to four hundred million a year ago b.p. would have done better but for the recently enacted tax reform bill plus b.p. continues to have cost tied to their gulf of mexico oil spill that killed eleven people and ranks as the largest marine oil spill in history since the two thousand and ten deepwater horizon disaster b.p. earnings have lagged behind its oil company cohorts the company was forced to sell billions in assets to fund cleanup efforts currently estimated to be roughly sixty billion dollars. and smart so spawn sales have subsided for the first time since two thousand and nine in china raising questions about the long term global future of the devices according to data from research company i.d.c. smartphone sales tranq by four point nine percent last year as in the u.s.

and the u.k. chinese consumers are waiting longer to replace their phones. and as i said the u.s. trade. grew it grew by twelve percent last year to five hundred sixty six billion dollars that's the widest gap since two thousand and eight and it creates even greater challenges for president donald trump who has made rebalancing trade a key priority here discusses david grasso a bold media david thanks for being with us first of all what's your take on this top number the twelve percent increase in the overall u.s. trade deficit in a single year point to push it up really to the highest level since two thousand and eight looks sort of substantial but what are your thoughts you know the experts say that a lot of this increase comes from the historical hangover of a stronger dollar among other factors you know a strong dollar buys us more stuff and right now people are expecting that the

trade deficit maybe even increase because of a booming economy and because of tax reform ok with the other number that stands out here is the increase of eight percent in the trade deficit with china and that's especially notable in the political context for president trump's rhetorical batter's battles with china and the north korean component what do you think about that one. you know that's something that's definitely the elephant in the room is our trade deficit with china that comprises about half of our deficit and you know that's a big number and of course you know stuff like this all comes from there we were just talking about our smartphones or smartphone sales in china you know a lot of our trade deficit comes from china mexico japan all those types of countries and we have to tackle those of course those are long term problems if we cause a trade war in the short term it's going to negatively affect our economy and bring down that beautiful economic landscape that we're currently seeing in the united states but what we certainly do have

a beautiful economic landscape david but let me ask you about the trade war because you know it's really sort of been an isolation his view that the president has had i mean with regard to the transpacific partnership that group with eleven countries who have gone ahead without the u.s. that's going forward the president keeps signaling that he's going to be tough on nafta even as a note gauche ations go on i mean do we have a deal maker in chief who is actually going to produce something on this or should workers and companies alike be concerned. you know i think it all depends on the execution i think the idea that the trade deficit is a problem is straight od i of course i'm a free markets here and would have stayed in you know the trans-pacific partnership but i think donald trump as president is starting to understand the importance of free trade and the importance of stability and free trade but also the idea that trade deals should be fair to american workers of course american consumers largely

benefit from free trade through lower prices so tenuous balance between the short term goal of keeping the economy stable making sure american consumers have enough money in their pockets but also making sure that we're not being taken advantage of by trade agreements with other countries and to go back to china really quickly i mean back during the campaign two thousand and sixteen the president said that he was going to designate china as a currency manipulator you may recall and and one hundred percent he was going to do it it was one of the list of things he was going to do on on day one and that didn't happen and to some extent i guess we can say well look you know we need china to deal with north korea but is that something you think is on the table and should be on the table. i mean i think cooler heads in the white house are prevailing on that front according to what we're mostly hearing on the ground and i think that's something that i sincerely hope for as well we do need china's leverage with north korea of course everyone knows it's an open secret that china

has done certain less than kosher things with their currency but i think that you know international affairs are a play and also economic stability we largely depend on china for a lot of our everyday where's that i think could be very we have to be very careful before we proceed with a trading war with our most important trading partner. i agree with you i think most people would we need to be careful but we need to get a good deal i just hope this guy the president not this guy you know our commander in chief does what we had hoped he would do it which i expect him to do and it's not just tough talk but it's actually walking the walk and getting these good deals for our companies for our workers and as i know you and i both care about david for our economy david grasso a bold maybe thank you so much for joining us i hope you'll come back great to hear great to be here bart thanks. and no trinity chavez has details on a new report regarding air b.n. b. and rents she joins us from new york city air b.n. b.

is being blamed for higher rents and reducing available housing and new york city a new report outlines some troubling trends about air b.n. b. and how the short term rental site has affected renters you can see the kind of room in a place with other people where you can see the home buyers on air b.n. b. a vacation web site meant to make traveling easier more convenient has apparently made things more difficult for tenants looking to rent in new york this year hotel renter for usually you have to go. up. we just want something for two weeks and we'll pay the same thing according to a study done by mcgill university in the hotel trades council air b.n. b. has removed between seven thousand to thirteen thousand five hundred housing units from the city's long term rental market and found that the cost of new york hadn't actually living in the city has been forced up on average three hundred eighty bucks a year and in some areas of manhattan the rent has increased more than seven hundred

dollars a year that's because air b.n. b. is listing so-called ghost hotels when listings comprise multiple rooms in a single apartment air b.n. b. even if it's a corporation we're going to be in town for week do you have a three or four bedroom apartment and guess what. fraction of the cost will take you so that's what's really really really going on right now however under current new york law it's illegal to rent out an entire apartment in a multi-unit building for less than thirty days and although there is have to finds for violators that doesn't seem to deter the vacation websites the report highlights that two thirds of the revenue are likely from illegal listings that forty five percent of all new york air b.n. b. reservations last year were legal and that there are forty seven hundred private room listings comprised of multiple rooms in a single apartment and air b.n. b. also induces gentrification the study found that in nearly seventy five percent of

the population in neighborhoods at highest risk of the air being be induced gentrification across new york is nonwhite meanwhile city officials are saying the short term rental side violates laws and threatens residents quality of life a spokesperson for the mayor's office of criminal justice told arcana statement a legal hotels are depriving new york families of badly needed housing they also create considerable risks for visitors and residents alike by neglecting safety codes that are required in legal hotels the city has taken aggressive action launching an unprecedented number of investigations throughout the city in the most extreme cases we have taken bad actors to court that brought more than a million dollars in penalties now everybody disputes the findings of the report and says that it's based on flawed methodology that exaggerates the number of life that the units are rented to visitors for reporting in new york today the charges are to. well congressional leaders may surprise many of us to do a larger deal for two years on funding including infrastructure funding and the

debt ceiling that would surely calm jittery markets let's get the latest from conservative t.v. and radio host steve malzberg steve thank you for being with us this is actually surprised me as you might of marriage and is it real and what's the latest. i think it's real we had a press conference earlier today with mitch mcconnell in the the republican side and then chuck schumer took over not a press conference but speeches on the floor of the senate and they both said they have reached this consensus they've reached this deal now they have to sell it but i think that's a fait accompli three hundred billion dollars in spending over the next two years the caps off military spending the caps off also nonmilitary spending now there's no immigration deal in this two year budget deal and that is going to stick in the craw of many and nancy pelosi has been on the floor of the house since ten am eastern time today she's still talking conducting house filibuster if you will

reading letters from daca people all about doc all about immigration all about how she cannot support any budget bill that does not include daca but she's not telling her members not to vote for it that's the important thing but they they've got they've got the minority leader they've got schumer right oh yeah they've got schumer i think that they're going to have some conservatives in the house certainly the freedom caucus is going to have a lot of problems with the left on the on the debt ceiling the left on the caps on domestic spending you know the democrats got lots of what they wanted i'm a little disappointed that mcconnell didn't stick to his guns a little bit more but this is what bipartisanship is i guess however it just shows how ridiculous the shutdown the schumer shutdown was a couple of weeks ago because there's no immigration.
