here's what people have been saying about redacted in the neighbor's yard the senate is full on awesome although the only show i go out of my way to longevity woods is the really packs upon our belief yap is the john oliver of our three americas doing the same thing we are apparently better than blue nothing better to see anybody you've never heard of love or down for the night not the president of the world bank so are you going to go write a seriously send us an email. with no make just manufacture consent to stick to public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the primary go round lifts only the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signal.

going to the ground the real news from the world. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last abang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one might differ. i speak to you now because there were no. other takers. to lame that

mainstream media has met its maker. i'm here at muddy field stadium in edinburgh the home and the heart of scottish rugby i'm here to interview scotland legend doherty we're a man who fought many great battles on this page behind me now he's in case the greatest battle of all his struggle against motor neuron disease so tell us when you when you realized that there was an order saying talk of something couldn't be explained because you've developed motor neuron disease so how did that pose the first time you detect it possibly i was married nearly two years ago now and today called. my hand in

a dollar on my farm and been aboard those boy and been a farmer you can shake. and with lost a lot of power and so three months later of this is not very clever it's not healed and my skin started to throw up just a bit of an effect guy because you know you. keep sandy first so you'd notice the i did notice just when i got called israel fingers starting with a little bit more and then this was in the way of time where i was fine and so i knew there was something up there again just never for one day thought what it ultimately ended up to be so it's the ones that are my skin started twitching and i kind of maybe if you're here i'm in the deed of i have no you can google. sugar in space travel here the test started there after i'm with them indeed there is no official test. seaver go through

a number of tests to see if this is not what it is so lumber punctures is quite pain for you go brain scans which can then find anything goes shock therapy. blood. tests and stuff juiced in december just for two months ago when the was. was the issue obviously when you get confirmed. must be an. extraordinary moment to realize it was to feel so can well when were you more or less settling your mind that's what you. might do something else and we'll explain. but i've always taken the. negative side of things so when the rugby i always thought when the team got announced i was going to get dropped so if i was dropped i was expecting that so it would be a shock if i was in the team i was quite delighted i'm back and i was little bit

too often told to. go and i want to get into the and the reason why not in the same was the attitude for. idea that this is what it was and everything propelled to what it was so when i got told it was ok what do you know it's a ticket that someone has given me so let's get on and just try and see if we can try and get something sorted the first people you you tell you be your family you good boys. and. i mean to to tell the way to family that little something really serious it was a difficult time because we good lady and i couldn't find the twenty third of december so pre-crisis so we didn't see anything till mid january to everyone because we were at my mum's and my sister's for christmas because mum at the time wasn't very well she had cancer and i'm clichy still here with him in one thing and so that didn't really when i want to prepare

a way i get in and things with so we kept it to mid january told the family just briefly what was going on because it makes life a lot easier and you're not trying to hide so much when you are young to go to maybe doctors visits and stuff and also visit so they were able to cover. eventually we told the way the world public went. can join which was which was. possibly the collective human we thought about it did maybe mid february. this kid was on exams and we didn't want that affect his exams so hence we kept it to june so it's been pretty well timetabled because of a great team behind me of trustees who mention the be very helpful so you decided not just the public with. your condition but also to get a friend ation go into klein do something do something about it so that's only talk over the family because obviously when you decide to go public with some let means

that the pub they live by the interest in your condition is quite a different thing from handling on an illness to feel self and your family so that was a big decision to make it was but it was an easy decision and i can say this and it may be your question every second because when i go diagnosed the professor basically said this is your masses and see what you've got to do and since then it's been like taking your comment your broken down car into the garbage and you've got to diagnose the issue and you've got to go and fix it that's been the frustrating thing for him and the the the medical profession really been help for. the drug side of things to try and stop a cure of this issue the nasties behind the scene i've been up to fantastic because there is only one drug available and that's who really is or i came out twenty two years ago so the reason for my frustration that there's been no clinical trial since then school and so the question has to be did you know this this was

a kid i don't know is under the clinical trial but my expectation would be as to why. drugs develop as a number of people who suffer from the condition is quite limited is a real condition and in just going to target the development. conditions of delicious ale to and i made a career but then it's been on this condition going on for a number of years and it's not a new condition and that's where my frustration wants which would tell you that there should be a public intervention to get the the scientific research going space is it's a terrible illness and a moment as well and we like to so and change that seven who really has him be as a certain way spawn and how many people in scotland so there are five hundred. and so a small percentage of it and it's a selected group and i was going to crack a few people and i'm quite fortunate as a mention because i have a maybe fourteen months to spend with family and friends and have some great

experience and great memories of people doing a lot of things for me where so many was on the me another day three months on hundred one days of being told today. he's only thirty eight and too young to see if i'd a tremendous public when you were on the pitch. and. extraordinary warm loving emotional. response on the monosyllable cocktail of how to put it that ditty when you saw just the sights on the sides was so let's get minority it was just phenomenal i think it goes back to like in a fast competition so quick adrenaline there was a very special team as well but thanks have to be for that to get those and he's been a fantastic support same with these teams in the score so we knew that same with. behind the scenes it's very difficult to put in words of support and generosity received just everybody to mrs smith's sending me

a little letter to see best where she's buried mantis people donating quite large sums of money to people coming in the street to see big money love what you do and here's twenty pound towards your foundation and stuff and. everyone's embrace the story stories to try and get a fix on much kelly saindon raised today but what's up. there's a there's a couple opponent need at the moment we've just come off the back of a fantastic call the tough until after all done in kelso. macleod and description and a much that is quite a lot of money through some old friends who have grown up with and david beards to have been a big stephen put together but a function they did a lot of support from people jackie stewart video footage vicky ross from deacon blue was involved bt upon the whole set up was fantastic it even forward a lovely friends to have. support in newcastle which twelve

to twenty old players what fifty five miles from the haggis to take a decent haggis from jeddah to newcastle on and gallium song still think old black no no no those that were there which i took it out a walk on the way home and with that there's a lot of things happen can you logan couldn't have done it on the london pale awareness and again fun so the fans are building what we've gone and done it sanctioned. review we had a media is in the world and we've done that as a team to try and put a business structure with a media is to see when to find a solution and we. professors and the people involved in m. indy think the best ways to go and that's that's the route we're going to propel so so with the funds that's what we've done at the moment said the suggestion video feed jackie is involved in a similar campaign because lady helen has dementia and he's targeting

his is a subset tamil clinic and one of the great medical essential necessity you're looking right into little to see where the cutting edge of reception is and in the condition yes we're obviously going to themas do not just now but in the back yes i just recently come out from new york last week. and good imitation of brian kennedy who's involved in the rugby israel was involved he was sort of invited me across to to see some specialists and with come back with a lot of great ideas of people who were willing and trying to give and again my question always is why why should we need to do that to go to grow the scottish health. been to see. the health of some of the other and this piece of the directors of the health service and we have an educator i've been

putting a lot of my trust into my professor dr oz and at the moment where we're always coming up against a closed door because again going back to the common knowledge here being to know what things to them because the medical board in the n.h.s. there are strict rules it is just doing a lot of things to happen but we're not very special situation as a terminal illness and people want to try and some to try something gives a lot of hope and any hope is group hope but at the moment it's not happening here and we've got to go but i'm the fortunate one that's able to get friends and family out to new york to try and look at some new treatment because a lot of people who don't have the opportunity to really think change. as a great record until trials for a number of conditions because we have a relatively stable population which we're told trials is one of the but also the. real illness is you have to have enough people for for the trial but essentially you'd like given the breakthroughs a skull that's been responsible for medicine that would be

a fantastic thing if you could if it apply a mainstay to this condition i think it's there this is all good people do nothing about good work we just need to move relax who's a bit to try things because myself in our situation because we do something because of the moments not the americans seem to be more up to trying things and getting things we go and as you say when you're facing less condition. then it's a pain to get some things in the lobby field to take a dig a few arrests and this is probably why i think it's bringing this this into the game to give it that is an issue here and now later is a battle ahead it's like sculling a big battle big important battle and i'm certainly here for faith and we're going to i'm going to go to you and the welsh in uniform means a special match for your listeners and in the wheels that's going to be some occasion isn't really pretty special and very scary on a. happening came

a moment but. i'm looking forward to see the size of the cup it's got a big handle from the can to represent me isn't quite that way and sadness that it's quite nice that this is happening because normally happens when you're not here so quite a second witness it and have a good time being the same so thanks to both parties for doing and again it goes back to generosity. and support perceived to make people aware of this horrific condition because basically it's a muscle wasting condition and. debility can't do anything for yourself eventually can't eat can't move. can't breathe even so. we to the end and this is why we need to just publicise tell our people that we needed help the time frame a solution or at least a stoppage and with there will still be unesco should be in and all the other people through the world it's just been phenomenal plus i'm hoping one day we can

find a way to mobilize lots and lots of people behind to do you know that. of the of the success one last thing is it's not quite literally we have top but ever the f.b.s. initial gets there alex salmond's the list key of course shelf to supply yourself a list of the biggest we have seen that is given to the. alex robots isn't supposed to thank you very much for the thank you very much very nice. when we listen to stories such as active door to here we are left in all of the personal courage it requires to face stallion such an illness dodgy to mark to alex that this is the hand he had been dealt and therefore he should get on with the task the same steely resolve which he displayed on the pitch he will now devote to this his greatest challenge of all. my feel stadium is famous for

a special roar from the stand for the scotland team sorry just forwards from out of hope that the international group which now supports starting in his battle helps propel humanity forward to finally humble this crippling to see so from all of us here at alex salmon show we hope to see you next. despite its turbulent history the soviet union has dominated international sport however this is not about the numbers of those champions for. you don't go. right on the charts number this.

you want there on the board maybe if you are going to describe proof for the order you're going to show those to be reserved for your wardrobe the first serve your lympics team of nine hundred fifty two when she did seeds of a concentration camp prisoners and frontline soldiers for sure baby in the us it's good to go there with your shoes because you. know that an issue of good luck because you're working for one fall through shall forward to get out of this with you if you think that we are going to get there with. the very essence of your question over through personal. enthusiasm will the new dawn while you're at baltimore simply be there in your world where there's still a free army in the world for you guys you know can we.

very few hours to pay more attention to word of the north korean nuclear issue i personally believe the u.s. coming can come up in just illusions but. the u.s. has been paying too much attention for military you know solutions but i hope the u.s. would pay more attention to. the north korean nuclear problem. that

. syria calls on the u.n. to hold the u.s. coalition to account for wednesday's as strikes targeting pro-government forces u.s. central command says the attack was to defend an american backed group. with the winter olympics about to begin dozens of russian athletes are still waiting for a ruling to decide if they can compete in south korea while norway is the latest country to face dumping allegations. public and lawmakers in the u.s. us threatening to cut funding to a global cancer research program after revealing america's most widely used we may find giant company monsanto think council.

thank you for watching the news headlines here at r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow. syria has called on the u.n. to hold the u.s. led coalition to account for wednesday's airstrikes against pro-government forces the number of casualties has not yet been confirmed but some reports claim up to one hundred people could have been killed u.s. central command described the attack as a defensive move but russia's defense ministry said the unit was hit as it was carrying out an operation against an i.a.s. . and for every the seventh was carrying out an operation to locate and terminate an eyesore sleeper cell near form oil refinery a unit of pro-government forces were suddenly sholden in hit by airstrikes by the u.s. led coalition vis was overkill if the numbers are true. demonstration of sheer brute force perhaps you know to send perhaps the send

a message nevertheless the united states says that it's it's in syria and it will defend itself and it has the right to defend itself in this instance syrian democratic forces acted in self-defense but support from the coalition to defeat an unprovoked attack by syrian pro regime forces in eastern syria if the situation is like how they describe that they were indeed attacks while fighting isis is to make of the right to self-defense one of you take them at face value you could think so but the people they just killed were also fighting isis and recently they have been making much better progress against isis then the united states led coalition or their partner forces the the s.d.f. the syrian government has of course called all of this an act of aggression unwarranted and unjust but just. for you information all of this happened in there

is or near a rich oil field and refinery chronicle it's called it was liberated last year by the u.s. led coalition very quickly and in fact. u.s. partner forces seem to have a knack for liberating areas with oil under them much quicker than they do those areas that don't have oil under them since since all the oil rich areas were taken in that is ordered by the s.d.f. progress against isis seems to have dropped to a snail's pace but you know regardless here america has said that it is in syria only to fight isis the day isis has been all but defeated in syria but you don't see the pentagon packing its bags our military policy in syria has not changed our priority remains to defeat of isis whether it's in iraq or in syria that is our intent to defeat isis and not do anything more than that the united states will

maintain a military presence in syria focused on ensuring that isis cannot reemerge total withdrawal of american personnel at this time would restore assad continue his brutal treatment against his own people the principal the lack of a fundamental commitment to our agreement is typical of current u.s. diplomacy including the reasons why the americans stay in syria rex tillerson peter he stated that the only goal in syria was the defeat of i so it was now they've got far more ambitious plans with more of the most with the mixed messages here is the pentagon staying on general mattis said that the united states will stay in syria will fight in syria for as long as the united states wants to fight in syria i mean that's you know pretty direct now you see how this might sound strange go to syria uninvited and while there you start killing syrians in syria in self-defense.

well regional experts told us that with islamic state practically gone from syria washington is now targeting the country's government instead. they are not just in syria to fight dyess they're in so i knew but have been in syria for a long time because they want to throw aside as the space to die fades as it becomes clear that the syrian forces themselves and largely defeated dies the priority of overthrowing assad because to reassert itself in the pentagon and in the white house so i think that's really down to the question the overthrow of assad was always the product reason why the americans were in syria the arming and training these groups intervening with air strikes and so on they were diverted from that by dyess know with the possibility of a defeat of dyess inside syria that policy be reasserts itself this is coming at the end of a long war the united states has taken about twenty eight percent of syrian

territory and over fifty percent of its oil is leverage in order to roll back iran and get rid of assad. i guess he wants that oil for him so there was a race only a few months ago to get those deals and he's proving undoubtedly under the pretext of fighting isis united states thank you was so the united states is trying to lay down the law here and not let anybody throw and as we know the turks threatened and mendacious to take on the americans over there so the united states i think is very anxious that both syria and turkey will begin to push america out try to push america out of northern syria but unlike. now it's just hours to go before the winter olympics start in south korea dozens of russian athletes are still waiting to hear if they can compete forty seven of them have appealed to the

court of arbitration for sport to overturn the i.o.c. has banned over alleged doping violations among those who have filed appeals off some of russia's most celebrated athletes they include six times and the big short track speed skating champion victor on and defending biathlon champion until she pointed auntie's any appetite reports from the olympic host city young chan. for almost two and a half hours the court of arbitration for sport was listening to the russian side which have now left led by their lawyer so these people won't get another chance to give their arguments to the court and now it is all up to the cast members they've promised to announce some sort of decision by noon korean time on friday to go over to the bone we continue to depend on the gas pump listen to our arguments and the decision will be reached within twenty four hours so things won't be decided to

with a few hours before the opening ceremony which of course puts extra pressure on the russian athletes on wednesday the secretary general hinted that still their mind to be at delay now here we are looking at three scenarios either cas decides to do nothing about the international olympic committee's move not to invite the russian athletes who have never been caught for cheating and without specifying the particular reasons for doing that or the court of arbitration for sport chooses to give the green light to the russians and in that case that would be a massive blow for the audio see and that would in turn mean that the international olympic committee discriminated against the russians the third scenario we heard about from an online leak that cannot be confirmed but reports are suggesting that there could be a split decision on the russian athletes i'm standing by here at the temporary home of the court of arbitration for sport and i'll give you any news as soon as it

comes out. spawns fans have shown their support for russia's athletes by projecting a light show onto a building opposite the world anti-doping agency headquarters in tampa it expresses support and love for the russian and picked team and ends with a message and russians are coming. but other athletes whose participation in the games isn't in question and now also improving control of a c that's after a norwegian state broadcaster published a list of drugs that norway's team doctor has brought chung well remarkable amount of ass medication was noted six thousand doses containing banned substances that's ten times more assman drugs the neighboring finland brought to south korea well the quantity of asked my medicine has raised a number of concerns most of these drugs contain substances banned by warder the doping watched argues they can enhance an athlete's performance by expanding their

lung capacity the norwegian anti doping agency has also admitted the country has a problem with the overuse of asthma medication. it is common practice in no way to occasional use asthma medicine in major elements in the respiratory system even with the diagnosis vastly is not specific. well the latest revelation comes after the release of a documentary that alleges the existence of an organized doping system at norway skiing federation one of the journalists behind the film told us there are major doubts over many of the competitors at this year's winter games the. situation is very angry about they don't want to talk about this problem and that's very sad in the region it's more strict ration ski federation doping program we can see that forty one percent of the.
